Idea Spreads to Farms
And "new kitchen" means
something. Such items as dish
washers and waste disposers
were not found in typical homes
a few years ago. Such house
wares as electric "deep fryers,
egg cookers, and roasters have
become popular in very recent
times.
And the whole electric kitch

The result is shown In home

They think home use will equal
industrial use in about 17 years.
There is every indication that
the amount used in the average

Possibility of Fire
Most Dangerous of
Hazards lo Kitchen
You can build safety into
your kitchen.
Fire is one of the most im
portant kitchen dangers. Amer
icans have been learning that
more than the dinner may be
burned when kitchen operations
get out of hand.
Since you can't burn a steel
cabinet, it can be an important
element of safety in a well-
planned kitchen.
Planning can also provide
safety in other ways. Are there
obstacle courses in your kitchen?
If the light burns out, can you
blunder into obstructions or
sharp corners? A modern kitchen
is planned to keep such hazards
at a minimum.
Curved Units Safer
Now it is possible to get
curved end units for steel cabi
nets which can be used to make
the kitchen safer. Small fry and
even adults can find sharp cor
ners dangerous and painful.
Also, there are other levels of
safety to plan into your kitchen
You can hurt yourself by ex
cessive reaching for things on
high shelves. Kitchen experts
can help you plan your kitchen
so that such reaching is kept at
a minimum. Wall cabinets
should be installed at conven
ient heights for the people who
will use them.
Another hazard is fatigue. You
can plan work surfaces so that
much kitchen work can be done
while you are sitting down. You
will find base cabinets designed
for this purpose.
What About Noise?
And what about noise? That
can be annoying, but is it a
hazard?
Experts report that small ir
ritating noises repeated over and
over again also can be a source
of fatigue. And when you are
tired you are likely to have acci
dents. Some clatter is the result of
the very nature of kitchen work,
but a lot of noise may be due
to poorly made equipment.
In the dark ages of kitchen
construction, steel cabinets were
a sourcse of annoying noise. But
not any more. If you have a cabi
net with lids or doors that bang
and ring when they are opened
or closed, you don't have mod
ern equipment.
Today, doors, lids, drawers
and other moving parts are
cushioned to work silently.
Working parts from drawer
glides to hinges are designed to
work easily and quietly for long
years of service.
Drawer do not fall out, and
yet they open fully they are
made that way. Doors always
hang true. They open and close
smoothly.
Miller Proclaims
Buddy Poppy Days
Mayor Earl M. Miller has pro
claimed Friday and Saturday,
May 25 and 26, as Buddy Poppy
days in Medford. x
In issuing the' proclamation,
Mayor Miller pointed out that
most of the Buddy Poppy funds
collected locally by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars will remain in
the community. He added that
the remainder will go . to the
National Home for widows and
orphans supported by the VFW
and to help maintain the vet
erans rehabilitation service.
He further stated, "I call upon
all to wear a Buddy Poppy as
evidence of our gratitude to the
men of this nation who left
their native soil to fight for the
cause of freedom which we con
tinue to enjoy as American
citizens."

Combine With Laundries
Modern kitchens often com
bine with laundries which also
reflect new development of ap
pliances.' Automatic washers did
not start moving in big volume
until 1946. Dryers until 1947.
New there are 10 million wash
ers and 2i million dryers.
All of which is a part of the
growing usefulness of the kitch
en. The beauty of sleek steel
cabinets is duplicated in new ap
pliances for kitchens in which
more and more families are find
ing a gathering place a place
to live.
HANGING CABINETS The versatility of steel is illustrated in
the hanging cabinets above, which put everything the housewife
needs in easy reach as she works either at the sink or in the
dining area.
Analyze Wall
Before Buying
So you're thinking about a
modern steel kitchen. It will last
a long time. To make sure it is
what you want now and in the
future, it is wise to plan care
fully.
The first thing to do is analyze
the floor and wall layout care
fully. That means not only to
measure the kitchen's exact di
mensions, but to 'note its shape
and any peculiar layout
problems.
Then go to your kitchen cabi
net dealer and learn what shapes
and sizes are available for your
use. They come in so many dif
ferent types, and styles that they
can be used to solve many prob
lems. Then go to your kitchen cabi
net dealer and learn what shapes
and sizes are available for your
use. They come in so many dif
ferent types and styles that they
can be used to solve many prob
lems. In many cases what at first ap
pears to be a major obstacle can
be turned into an asset without
expensive structural changes just
by using the appropriate cabinet.
Most kitchen planners today
do not follow a rigid pattern.
But there are a number of stand
ard kitchen layouts. If you know
what they are, you can modify
them or mix them up to meet
your personal needs. ,
Here are the most important:
1. U shape. Here storage cabi
nets, equipment and appliances
are installed around three sides
of the room. The sink usually is
in the center, the refrigerator
and range at the two ends. Usual
ly it is planned so you work from
left to right. But" if you. are a
lefty, you might wish to reverse
that.
2. L shape. Here all units are
arranged around two walls with
a work pattern like that for the
U shape. Most experts like to
stock in some modification of U
or L where possible, because
these plan bring work centers
close together.
3. I shape. Units are arranged
along one will with the work
moving in a single line from re
frigerator to sink to range.
4. Corridor kitchen. Suitable
for along, narrow room. Units
are ranged along opposite walls
for maximum convenience.
5. Island. So called when it
stands fee with floor space all
around it. When one end abuts
a wall it is called "peninsula."
These are for large kitchens.
They are adaptions of a plan
Grandma often used with a work
table in the middle of the room.
With modern equipment, the
range or even the sink can be
put in an island. Often they have
storage cabinets around them. A
more common type of island is
two standard steel base cabinets
back to back. A plastic counter
top usually is put over both cabi
nets for a work surface.

In using either island or pen

New Appeals Made
For Feedral Aid To
Michigan Jobless
Detroit (U.R) New appeals
for federal aid to Michigan's
unemployed have been promised
in the wake bf additional lay
offs by the auto industry.
But there were two indica
tions the government was al
ready taking steps to ease the
situation.
The latest layoffs were the
result of production slashes by
the General Motors Corp. and
the Ford Motor Co. No estimate
of the total number of workers
laid off was immediately avail
able. Calls Mais Meeting
Pat Quinn, vice president of
United Auto Workers Union
Local 3, here, Monday called for
a mass meeting" of the indus
try's unemployed for next Sun
day when he heard of the latest
production cuts.
He said his union planned to
ask for a huge federal public
works program to aid Detroit's
unemployed.
One indication that the gov
ernment was planning action
was revealed here Monday by
Howard P y 1 e, administrative
aide to President Eisenhower.
Pyle, in Detroit to attend a
Republican gathering, told re
porters the Council of Economic
Advisors was studying the situa
tion and said "Something will
be done speedily." He indicated
relief might come through the
channeling of defense contracts
to the area.
Both Gov. G. Mennen Wil
liams and Mayor Albert E. Cobo
of Detroit have asked the gov
ernment recently for some such
action.
Another note of hope was
sounded Monday when Williams
revealed a telegram .from Labor
Secretary James P. Mitchell
which answered the governor's
request that seven Michigan
areas be declared labor surplus
areas.
Mitchel told Williams his of
fice was reviewing the entire
labor market situation but was

any areas affected by the auto

New Steel Cabinets Must
Fit Your Kitchen Layout
Make it efficient. Make it
beautiful. But above all, make
it yours.
These are the things kitchen
experts are telling people who
want to , make their kitchens
modern.
Steel cabinets are the building
blocks you use to do all these
things. The cabinets must fit
your floor space and your kitch
en layout. They must team with
the appliances you have or plan.
They must harmonize in shape
and color with your scheme of
decoration. -
A wide variety of shapes, col
ors and types are available. You
can combine them in an infin
ite number of ways to fit your
needs.
Color? With so many colors
from which to choose, your col
or scheme for the kitchen can
be treated in the same way that
you treat other rooms of your
home, the experts say. Are you
sure of your own taste? Then go
ahead with your own plans just
as you do in other parts of the
house.
Remember, Colors Permanent
But remember, the colors you
pick for your new steel cabin
ets are permanent. Don't pick
something you are likely to get
tired of in the years to come.
If you want help, you can call
in a professional decorator, or
your kitchen cabinet dealer can
help you select colors that go
together.
Current favorites are pink,
turquoise and yellow. Others
that are available range from
the softest pastels to deeper reds
and browns and copper. All the
colors for steel cabinets are de
veloped by paint specialists.
They are easy to live with and
mix or match with virtually any
color scheme.
Some kitchen decorators to
day are using two or even three
color tones in the cabinets. But
white is still a prime favorite.
Brights colors are often used in
curtains, wall coverings, and
flooring to set off the white.
Often, the most colorful ac
cessories are those which can be
replaced easily with the thought
that some people like to change
home decorating schemes period
ically. Do you like the popular built-
in appliances? You can house
them in steel cabinets that fit
perfectly into your layout.
Does planning along straight
lines unnoy you? Gently round
ed effects are a part of many
modern kitchens. There are cur
